[0035] As shown in Figures 1-4, an ecological greening wall includes multiple fixed poles 2 arranged uprightly on the ground I separately. The fixed poles 2 may be made of, e.g., steel or concrete. The fixed poles 2 may be fixed by standing on the ground or being planted into the ground, which is not limited herein. A reinforcement part 3 with holes 31 is fixedly connected between the fixed poles 2 along the longitudinal direction of the fixed poles 2, for 4 English translation of PCT/CN2010/073918 tensioning construction parts and vegetation bags mentioned below, to enhance the overall strength. The reinforcement part 3 may be a reinforcing net, plate or geogrid. The reinforcement part 3 may be made of plastic or metal, which is not limited herein. On one side of the reinforcement part 3, multiple vegetation bags 4 are stacked from bottom to top 5 closely against the reinforcement part 3, and on the other side of the reinforcement part 3, construction parts 5, which may be bricks, are built closely against the reinforcement part 3. The vegetation bag 4 includes a ventile and water-permeable bag body 41 and plant growing material 42 Filled in the bag body 41. The bag body 41 may also be filled with absorbent material, for example. The bag body 41 and the reinforcement part 3 are attached together by 0 a reinforcing wall body 6 which may be of material such as cement and gel. The reinforcing wall body 6 extends through the holes 31 of the reinforcement part 3 to the side opposite to the bag body 41 to fixedly connect with the construction parts 5, such that the reinforcement part 3, the reinforcing wall body 6, the construction parts 5 and the vegetation bags 4 are incorporated integrally. For jointing vegetation bags 4 more tightly, a reinforcing layer 7 of. 5 e.g., glue or cement and a connecting buckle 8 are provided between the bag bodies 4 1 from the adjacent layer of vegetation bags 4. The connecting buckle 8 includes protrusions on both its top and bottom sides and the protrusions can penetrate into the bag bodies 4 1. 100361 A construction method of the embodiment is described below. Firstly, multiple fixed poles 2 are arranged uprightly on the ground I at a construction site separately, while a 0 reinforcement part 3 with holes 31 is fixedly connected between the adjacent lixed poles 2 along the longitudinal direction of the fixed poles 2 and tensioned tightly by the Fxed poles 2. Then vegetation bags 4 are stacked from bottom to top on one side of the reinforcement part 3, and construction parts 5 (e.g., bricks) are built on the other side of the reinforcement part 3. When every one or more layers of vegetation bags 4 are stacked, as in the state shown in 5 Figures 3-4, adhesive which may be cement mortar or glue is filled between the construction parts 5 and the vegetation bags 4, so that the adhesive penetrates through the holes 31 of the reinforcement part 3 to adhere between the construction parts 5 and the vegetation bags 4. After the stacking of the vegetation bags is completed, a reinforcing wall body 6 is formed by the hardening of the adhesive, thus the reinforcement part 3, the reinforcing wall body 6, 0 the construction parts 5 and the vegetation bags 4 are incorporated integrally. In the embodiment, the reinforcement part 3 holds the vegetation bags 4, so that the vegetation bags 4 are stacked more stably. Greening of the vegetation bags can be implemented. thereby obtaining effects of heat and sound insulation. The method is applicable to the conventional house wall, a bounding wall, side guardrails of highway and soundproof walls of a trestle. 5 100371 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in Figure 5 and is similar with the embodiment already described above, except that the vegetation bags 4 stacked on one side of the reinforcement part 3 are arranged staggeringly, and the adjacent layers of the 5 English translation of* PCT/CN2010/073918 vegetation bags 4 are fixedly connected by a reinforcing layer 7 (which may be of glue or cement) or a connecting buckle 8. Figure 6 shows a further embodiment which merely differs from the above embodiments in that the construction parts 5 (e.g. bricks) on the other side of the reinforcement part 3 are replaced by a cement board, a metal plate, a plastic panel 5 or a wooden board. The other construction elements, such as the fixing pole 2, the reinforcement part 3, the vegetation bag 4, the reinforcing wall body 6, the reinforcing layer 7 and the connecting buckle 8, and the construction method remain unchanged. 100381 Figure 7 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention. Here, an ecological greening wall includes multiple upright fixed poles 2 on the ground 1. A reinforcement part 3 0 with holes 31 is fixedly connected between the adjacent fixed poles 2 along the longitudinal direction of the fixed poles 2. Multiple vegetation bags 4 are stacked from bottom to top on both sides of the reinforcement part 3 tightly against the reinforcement part 3. The vegetation bag 4 includes a ventile and water-permeable bag body 41 and plant growing material 42 filled in the bag body 41. The bag body 41 may also be filled with absorbent material. The 5 reinforcement part 3 and the vegetation bags 4 of its both sides are fixedly connected together by a reinforcing wall body 6, which penetrates through the holes of the reinforcement part 3 and are fixedly connected with the bag bodies 4lof the vegetation bags 4 on both sides of the reinforcement part 3, respectively, so that the reinforcement part 3, the reinforcing wall body 6 and the vegetation bags 4 on both sides of the reinforcement part 3 0 are incorporated integrally. Likewise, a reinforcing layer 7, which may be of glue or cement, and/or a connecting buckle 8 is provided between bag bodies 41 of adjacent vegetation bags 4, for the enhanced joint of adjacent vegetation bags 4. 100391 A construction method of this embodiment is described below. Firstly, the lixed poles 2 are arranged uprightly on the ground I at a construction site separately, while a 5 reinforcement part 3 with holes 31 is fixedly connected between the adjacent lixed poles 2 along the longitudinal direction of the fixed poles 2 and tensioned tightly by the lixed poles 2. Then vegetation bags 4 are stacked layer by layer from bottom to top on both sides of the reinforcement part 3. A reinforcing layer 7 obtained from the hardening of glue or cement. and optionally a connecting buckle 8, is provided between and fixedly connects the o vegetation bags 4 of the adjacent layers. When the stacking of every one or more layers of vegetation bags 4 on both sides of the reinforcement part 3 is completed, adhesive is filled between vegetation bags 4 of the both sides, so that the adhesive penetrates through the holes 31 of the reinforcement part 3 to adhere between the bag bodies 41 of the vegetation bags 4 of the both sides. After the stacking of the vegetation bags 4 is completed, a reinforcing wall 5 body 6 is obtained from the hardening of the adhesive, thus the reinforcement part 3, the reinforcing wall body 6 and the vegetation bags 4 are incorporated integrally. In the embodiment, the reinforcing wall bodies 6 on both sides of the reinforcement part 3 are used 6 to hold the vegetation bags 4, so that the vegetation bags 4 are stacked more stably. Greening of the vegetation bags 4 can be implemented, thereby obtaining effects of heat and sound insulation. The method is applicable to the conventional house wall, the middle isolation barrier of highway, etc. [00401 The invention is characterized in that the fixed poles are used to tension the corresponding reinforcement part, to enable the stacking of vegetation bags for planting and greening on at least one side of the reinforcement part, and the reinforcement part is integrally jointed to the vegetation bags through the reinforcing wall body, so as to implement greening based on the vegetation bags. Thus, an integrally stable ecological greening wall with a simple structure and functions of heat and sound insulation is formed, and the wall is easy to construct, beneficial to greening and environment protection, and widely applicable to the infrastructural wall of house, the middle isolation barrier and both side guardrails of highway, a soundproof wall of trestle, etc. [00411 Although the invention has been described with reference to some preferred embodiments thereof, various amendments, variations and equivalents shall occur to those ordinarily skilled in the art and fall within the scope of the invention.
